Answer:

The answer to Question (i) is Xylem

The answer to Question (ii) is Vessel Member

These are long and narrow plant cell types. Their structure comprises dual cell walls that can be categorized into primary and secondary walls found in the xylem. They are usually shorter in length than tracheids.
